Answer 1

I support what's been said above. Furthermore, I will say pick a non trivial project and work on it in Delphi! A tool you have wanted to have but you're yet to find something that meets your needs exactly or even even something that you already used and you want to see if you can develop something similar in Delphi. That's how I learned Delphi...(I am still learning. I started working in Delphi about 3 months ago but it's not my first language so some of the knowledge transfered. But thinking about it, I wish I had learned Delphi first!). You have also probably heard this many times but read good and well written code! Every time I learn about a new Delphi function, I try to take some time and read its implementation and I have learned couple things that way!
